It's getting to be crunch time, I need to make a decision on my color scheme for my next G23. Tell me your favorite number. Thanks in advance!

You get a new boat every year so you have nothing to loose, add a little flair go with the green and add a green tower

Thanks for the input everyone! Two votes for #1 so far, but no much other love for 1, 3 or 4? I was partial to those, but I plan on selling it next year so I want to make sure I get something favorable to others.

For reference my current boat is below. I'm not against the blues but there just seems to be so many of them out there (even quite-a-few greens...3 with current color scheme). One reason I am hesitant on the green is that I had a few potential buyers say they were going to pass because green wasn't really their color of choice.

1, 4, and 12, for me. My initial run through, I liked 1 better than 4. But, after looking at them, I think I prefer the white going all the way to the pow point on 4. I also think on the water, having the black on the back come up a little higher (like 4) will look better than 1, because you'll see more of that accent. From looking at the pic above, very little of the black at the back of 1 will be visible when on the water. I also like 12. How would it look with a red tower? There's just something about the Nautiques with the colored towers that always catches my eye.

Did you get the green one sold?

Good insight, SS. The pic above is setup for surfing (which I do maybe twice a year)...if it's sitting level you can see it better (below). Mine is still for sale, if it's not sold within the next, I'll be doing a straight trade. My final change date on the new one is Feb 1st.

What Chatt? You'd order an all white or black boat? That doesn't sound like you at all

Personally I like 1 and 3.

We just picked up an all white G this week. Love the looks of that boat, so clean. It's not solid white like the one in Chatt's pic above, it has the decals, but if for whatever reason you would consider it (not to buy I know you are ordering one) I'll post some pics for you.

3 and 8 would be my choices, I'd do a black tower instead of white though I think it would stand out more somehow.

Playing around a little on nautique.com, if i had to design a boat i'd probably go, forward stripe/main stripe... white. bottom... either dark blue, black or red...... accent--Red. Tower Dark blue, or what ever the bottom paint is.

It would be too hard for me to design a boat, i better stick with the one i've got.

All black or all white like Chatts post.

Since your truck is white, go white. "If it aint white, it aint right"

i don't care for the bloated pig boat, but of those choices I like #2.

Is that just a sticker on the side or is it in the gelcoat. I meant to check that at the boat show, but forgot to check.

Sorry, Jay, not keen to any of those choices. If it were me, I'd definitely keep the forward stripe and the main stripe the same color. That way, you could remove the graphic, when it gets dated, and the boat will still look good. I'd also stay away from a lot of black and green, if you want to sell fast. Go with blues or reds.

Dave O's white g is probably the cleanest one i've seen yet. If you wont go for that id guess 17 is the next best. That white is awesome though.

I've got it narrowed down to the following. Right now I think I'm leaning towards #3, but #2 looks super rad as well.

Yea, I think I will probably go with Boatmate again, since they seem to have the lowest profile trailer. With the low water levels we've been having, I need to keep the bunks as low as possible.

I'm probably going to do the same trailer, just swap out the green for white.

IMO #2 while the black gunnels on #3 look cool they suck in the summer when you put an arm up there. That comes from someone in TX though so since your up north you may not care.

ONE

The change in color between the bow and the rest of the boat does nothing for the flow of the color scheme.

It could look like a 1980s station wagon for all I care. I base my boat purchase on performance and wakeboard wake.

With that said, I still want a bad@ss color scheme. I took a trip to my dealer to get some color ideas and they had one with no graphics. Got me thinking, so I did a little photoshop work on #2.

I say leave the graphic on. The boat needs it. It just looks way too tall and bloated without it.

My vote is one of these two...

Could your dealer get any pics for you of what one of these things looks like before they put the graphics on? It's hard to tell from the aps where you choose colors, due to the scale.

I am confused as to why people buy a boat and then sell and get something new the next year. Do you just enjoy paying interest and never knocking down that principal? Inform me if I am missing something
